jar of hearts

no, I can't take one more step towards you
cause all that's waiting is regret
don't you know I'm not your ghost anymore
you lost the love I loved the most

I learned to live half alive
and now you want me one more time

and who do you think you are?
running 'round leaving scars
collecting your jar of hearts
and tearing love apart
you're gonna catch a cold
from the ice inside your soul
so don't come back for me
who do you think you are?

I hear you're asking all around
if I am anywhere to be found
but I have grown too strong
to ever fall back in your arms

I've learned to live half alive
and now you want me one more time

and who do you think you are?
running 'round leaving scars
collecting your jar of hearts
and tearing love apart
you're gonna catch a cold
from the ice inside your soul
so don't come back for me
who do you think you are?

dear, it took so long just to feel all right
remember how to put back the light in my eyes
I wish I had missed the first time that we kissed
cause you broke all your promises
and now you're back
you don't get to get me back

and who do you think you are?
running 'round leaving scars
collecting your jar of hearts
and tearing love apart
you're gonna catch a cold
from the ice inside your soul
so don't come back for me
don't come back at all

and who do you think you are?
running 'round leaving scars
collecting your jar of hearts
and tearing love apart
you're gonna catch a cold
from the ice inside your soul
don't come back for me
don't come back at all

here i am

here I am, playing with those memories again
and just when I thought time had set me free
those thoughts of you keep taunting me
holding you, a feeling I never outgrew
though each and ev'ry part of me has tried
only you can fill that space inside
so there's no sense pretending, my heart is not mending

just when I thought I was over you
and just when I thought I could stand on my own
oh, baby those mem'ries come crashing through
and I just can't go on without you

on my own, I've tried to make the best of it alone
I've done ev'rything I can to ease the pain
but only you can stop the rain
I just can't live without you, I miss everything about you

just when I thought I was over you
and just when I thought I could stand on my own
oh, baby those mem'ries come crashing through
and I just can't go on without, go on without
it's just no good without you

separate lives

you called me from the room in your hotel
all full romance for someone that you met
and telling me how sorry you were

leaving so soon and that you'll miss me sometimes
when you're alone, do I feel lonely too?

you have no right to ask me how I feel
you have no right to speak to me so kind
we can't go on, holding on to time
so for now we'll go on living separate lives

well, I have learned to let you go
and if you lost your love for me, you'll never let it show, oh no
there was no way to compromise
so now we're living, now we're living separate lives

oh, it's so difficult, love leads to isolation
so you build that wall, yes, you build that wall
and you make it stronger, no

you have no right to ask me how I feel, oh no
you have no right to speak to me so kind
some day I might, I just might find myself looking in your eyes
but for now, we'll go on living separate lives

yes, for now, we'll go on living separate lives
separate lives

holding back the years

holding back the years
thinking of the fear I've had so long
when somebody hears
listen to the fear that's gone
strangled by the wishes of pater
hoping for the arms of mater
get to me the sooner or later

holding back the years
chance for me to escape from all I've known
holding back the tears
cause nothing here has grown
I've wasted all my tears
wasted all those years
and nothing had the chance to be good
nothing ever could yeah

I'll keep holding on
I'll keep holding on
I'll keep holding on
I'll keep holding on
so tight

I've wasted all my tears
wasted all of those years
and nothing had the chance to be good
cause nothing ever could oh yeah

I'll keep holding on
I'll keep holding on
I'll keep holding on
I'll keep holding on
holding, holding, holding

that's all I have today
it's all I have to say

stop and stare

this town is colder now, I think it's sick of us
it's time to make our move, I'm shaking off the rust
I've got my heart set on anywhere but here
I'm staring down myself, counting up the years
steady hands, just take the wheel...
and every glance is killing me
time to make one last appeal... for the life I lead

stop and stare
I think I'm moving but I go nowhere
yeah I know that everyone gets scared
but I've become what I can't be, oh
stop and stare
you start to wonder why you're here not there
and you'd give anything to get what's fair
but fair ain't what you really need
oh, can you see what I see

they're trying to come back, all my senses push
untie the weight bags, I never thought I could...
steady feet, don't fail me now
gonna run till you can't walk
something pulls my focus out
and I'm standing down...

stop and stare
I think I'm moving but I go nowhere
yeah I know that everyone gets scared
but I've become what I can't be, oh
stop and stare
you start to wonder why you're here not there
and you'd give anything to get what's fair
but fair ain't what you really need
oh, you don't need

what you need, what you need...

stop and stare
I think I'm moving but I go nowhere
yeah I know that everyone gets scared
but I've become what I can't be
oh, do you see what I see...

the world is not enough

I know how to hurt
I know how to heal
I know what to show
and what to conceal
I know when to talk
and I know when to touch
no one ever died from wanting too much

the world is not enough
but it is such a perfect place to start, my love
and if you're strong enough
together we can take the world apart, my love

people like us
know how to survive
there's no point in living
if you can't feel the life
we know when to kiss
and we know when to kill
if we can't have it all
then nobody will

the world is not enough
but it is such a perfect place to start, my love
and if you're strong enough
together we can take the world apart, my love

I feel safe
I feel scared
I feel ready
and yet unprepared
the world is not enough
but it is such a perfect place to start, my love
and if you're strong enough
together we can take the world apart, my love

lonely won't leave me alone

why do I seem to be
caught up inside a dream?
all my life, it's always been my shadow and me

over my shoulder there's
always a voice somewhere
saying, I ever should try to set my heart free

I wish that love would come
and take me in her arms
show me what I've never known

where I could hold someone
and words like right and wrong
just fade away like yesterday

lonely won't leave me alone
lonely won't leave me alone
why, tell me why?
won't even let me fall in love

oh, everywhere I go
always by my side
won't even let me fall in love

I try and say, I love you
but the words won't come through
when my eyes see all the tears and sad memories

why can't I start out new
and leave that old feeling, too
far behind, I guess, that lonely needs company

around each bend of road
I'm thinking back in time
there will be that rainbow's end

but when I follow love
self delusions I find
that it's only lonely and me again

lonely won't leave me alone
lonely won't leave me alone
why, tell me why?
lonely just keeps my heart out of touch

oh, everywhere I go
always by my side
won't even let me fall in love
